Scarring & uneven texture

Acne scarring, post-inflammatory texture or general unevenness — the gold-standard treatments delivered properly.

Why scarring treatment is a long game

Acne and texture scarring formed over months or years — improving them takes a course of treatments over months too. There is no single-session fix, no matter what some clinics advertise.

Microneedling with the Dermapen 4 is the gold standard. The fine needles create controlled micro-injuries that trigger collagen and elastin renewal — over a course of 3-6 sessions, skin texture is visibly improved.

For deeper or more complex scarring, we combine microneedling with polynucleotides (for cellular repair) or the DMK Transformation programme (multi-modality, bespoke). The right plan depends on the scarring type and severity.

Common questions

How much improvement can I expect?

For most acne scarring: 50-70% improvement after a full course of 6 sessions is typical. Severe ice-pick scarring is harder. We will set realistic expectations at consultation or at the start of your microneedling course.

Microneedling or polynucleotides — which?

Microneedling is the standard for most scarring. Polynucleotides are often added for advanced cases or thin/fragile skin. We can advise on which combination is right for you.

Will the results last?

Yes — once collagen has been remodelled, the new texture is permanent. You may want maintenance sessions every 12-24 months.

Is microneedling painful?

Mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. Topical numbing is applied before treatment. Most clients tolerate it well.

How long is the downtime?

Mild redness for 24-48 hours after each microneedling session. Most clients return to work the next day.
